Answer:

The good news is that swelling tends to be short lived. Most swelling either completely subsides or reduces considerably in only two or three days, with at most 5 to 7 days of visible swelling. We also prescribe anti-inflammatory medications that help to reduce swelling even further.

Swelling after having your wisdom teeth removed normally lasts for around 2-3 days, and at most being about 5-7 days. Even though it goes down over a short period of time, they do as well prescribe anti-inflammatory medications to assist in reducing the swelling any further.

Hope this helps.
